Maybe we should ban the bikini, since it promotes misogyny ... -_- Same stupid logic.

[Muaththin]

The lady with the niqab respresents wisdom/truth and the the other one represents falsehood/hypocricy......

[AbubakrHussein]

For God sake stop thinking and believing for other ppl !!

if a woman wanna wear a nikab... she shall wear !!!

and if she doesnt, u can make laws that protect them from ppl who force them to wear

and not just BAN other ppl beliefs !!!!!

[lehcenify]

@ammarios i dont understand why you think it is a form of oppression against women. is it because its what you hear n the media or it what you been told? we clearly heard hiba say that nobody forced her into wearing, its something she choses based on her personal believes. let us live in a way were everybody is happy about themselves plz. real exploitation is where companies put a half naked woman beside a pack of cigarette. is that freedom and liberation to you?

@AngelofJustize oh shut up, you idiot. as if you give 2 shits about native americans. as if you know anything about them. why are there so many muslims in america if they care so much about native americans?

you want everybody here to go back? you want to rewind history and make the spanish, english, french, dutch not come here? you want to blame americans today for what europeans did for centuries before the US even existed?

leave then if you care so much. moron.

@karlsmith00

You guys are in America just to exploit and take everything fro the Indians and you're still doing it. You never assimilated to native culture and you should have.

[karlsmith00]

@AngelofJustize i belong in america because i acknowledge the constitution as the supreme law, and i'm an atheist anyway. i don't pray to anything.

muslims don't belong to america because they are required to follow islamic law. if they aren't, then they're being hypocrites. they're only in america to exploit the benefits while they cry about how great islam is. if islam was so great, they wouldn't be here.

they should all leave.

@karlsmith00

If muslims don't belong in America, then neither do you. If you would truly assimilate to what is truly American, you should be saying prayers to Great Spirit and Mother Earth.
